Plan benefits
         CCHP on Call
         Together with CCHP offers our members a no-cost
         nurseline called CCHP on Call, where you can speak
         directly to knowledgeable registered nurses who
         are available 24/7. They may provide symptom
         assessment and help you find the appropriate level
         of care and help keep your costs down. Depending
         on your needs, you may be directed to a nearby
         facility that has extended hours (such as an urgent
         care clinic), directed to your family doctor, given at-
         home treatment advice or offered a medical doctor
         (MD) consultation over the phone.

         24/7 MD consultations
         By combining MD consultations with our nurse triage service, we are proud to offer services that
         provide immediate care for certain common conditions. Depending on the circumstances, the
         nurses may answer questions, triage symptoms and provide care recommendations, while the
         doctors may be able to diagnose your condition, provide at-home treatment advice, and send a
         prescription (if appropriate) to the local participating pharmacy for common conditions.

         Whether you are just not feeling well or not able to see your primary care provider, CCHP on Call is
         available 24/7 to help answer your health-related concerns.

         Health management programs
         Our local, personalized health management programs focus on members with chronic health
         problems or members who need extra help with their specific health care needs. Our specially
         trained clinical services staff works with you and your doctors to create a plan that fits your needs.

         Together with CCHP health management programs include:
           • Case management — If you are diagnosed with a serious illness or complex health condition,
             our case managers will work with you to help you learn how to best manage your condition.
           • Disease management — Need help managing your asthma, diabetes or depression? Case
             managers are here to support you and help you learn more about your condition and how to
             best manage and improve it.
           • Free apps — Together with CCHP also offers free apps to help you manage your diabetes or
             lower back pain. Check out togetherCCHP.org/members/Health-Programs for more information.

What plan is right for me?
         Together with CCHP offers plans designed with you in mind. Plan categories differ based on the way
         you and the health plan share your health care costs. When deciding which plan option is right for
         you, consider what is important to you and how you expect to use your benefits.

         High Deductible HSA plan
         Together with CCHP offers a Bronze High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). With the Bronze HDHP
         plan, you have the ability to combine your health insurance plan with a Health Savings Account
         (HSA) that provides for tax-free payment or reimbursement of eligible medical expenses to help
         lower your medical costs. With the Together with CCHP Bronze HDHP plan, you have the option to
         open an HSA at any participating bank or financial institution of your choice.
         *Bronze HDHP Zero and Bronze HDHP Limited plans are not HSA-eligible. Together with CCHP is not responsible for the
         administration of any Health Savings Accounts. For more information on how to open a qualifying account, please visit your
         local bank or financial institution.

         Catastrophic plan
         If you are under the age of 30 or are experiencing a hardship, the Catastrophic plan may be for you.
         Like the other Together with CCHP plans, the Catastrophic plan covers essential health benefits and
         certain preventive services at no cost. Catastrophic plans are designed for individuals who have low
         health care costs and primarily use their insurance for routine checkups. This plan has lower monthly
         premiums and a higher deductible. To see if you qualify for a hardship or the full list of hardship
         qualifications, please visit healthcare.gov.
